Salt Lake Tribune - Sports: "'Heavies' will rumble without sluggish Bowe
Boxing
By Steve Luhm
The Salt Lake Tribune
Rob Calloway (55-5-1) vs. Jim Strohl (27-3)
l Main event of a card beginning at 7 p.m. Saturday at the Delta Center.
This time, the show will go on.
Postponed last month when former heavyweight champion Riddick Bowe backed out of a commitment to fight, a professional boxing card featuring respected heavyweight Rob Calloway will be held Saturday at 7 p.m. at the Delta Center.
Calloway (55-5-1) will meet Jim Strohl (27-3) in the 12-round main event for the North American Boxing Council heavyweight title.
'This is an historic night of championship boxing,' said Edward Mendy of Lion Heart Boxing Productions.
He called the Calloway-Strohl bout 'a significant fight by any standard and we're excited to bring it to Salt Lake City.'
According to Mendy, the fight will be available 'around the world' via the Internet.
In April, Mendy planned to have Bowe headline the first-ever professional fight card at the Delta Center. But Bowe backed out so he could fight Billy Zumbrun on national television a few days later.
In only his second fight in eight years, Bowe ended up scoring an unpopular split decision over Zumbrun, who had the ex-champ in trouble when the bell ended the 10-round fight.
Bowe weighed-in at 280 pounds for the fight - 45 more than the night in 1992 when he beat Evander Holyfield for the world heavyweight title.
Bowe was so out of shape and his skills had diminished to the point where local boxing fans probably got the best of it when he decided to forgo his scheduled fight in Utah.
'In hindsight,' Mendy said, 'it was probably a blessing in disguise. . . . We're certainly not planni"
